Story

In 2019 I ran a half marathon, 4 weeks post chemo, and dressed as a boob. The following year I applied for the Sahara desert trek, and 2 years later im finally heading to the SAHARA DESERT to trek 100km!!!!

I will be joining an amazing team of people, all with different tales to tell, but all in the name of COPPAFEEL!

I'm so proud to be part of this epic adventure, it feels like a huge opportunity to show myself how far I've come since my treatment, a chance for some proper hard core reflection, the chance to meet some mega inspiring people, and to raise a TONNE OF MONEY for COPPAFEEL, so that they can carry on doing the fab work they do.

Those of you who know me or have followed my cancer story will know how passionate I am about educating people about Boobs and early detection of this utter s**t of a disease. I wont ever stop doing that, and I want to stop the next person from going through what I had to.

So do that, I need your help. I appreciate that times are uncertain right now, but please help me help them by giving whatever you can using the 'Give Now' button. The more people that know about CoppaFeel!, the greater their impact, so please also spread the word by sharing my page with your friends and family. Thank you in advance for your generosity, it means a lot! 

Your donations will not only support my fundraising target, but most importantly CoppaFeel!, who are on a mission to stamp out the late diagnosis of breast cancer by making sure that young people are regularly checking their boobs and know their bodies to be able to have the confidence to see their GP if something just doesn't feel normal. Thanks so much for your donation & support. To find out more about CoppaFeel! head to www.coppafeel.org.
